Is Custom JavaScript Editor Safe to Use in 2026?
Generally Safe
Score 85/100Custom JavaScript Editor has no known CVEs and is actively maintained. It's a solid choice for most WordPress installations.
The 'custom-javascript-editor' plugin version 1.1 exhibits a generally strong security posture based on the provided static analysis. The absence of any identified CVEs, combined with the fact that all SQL queries are prepared and there are no file operations or external HTTP requests, suggests careful development and a low likelihood of common web vulnerabilities. The presence of nonce and capability checks further reinforces this positive assessment, indicating an effort to secure its limited entry points.
However, the analysis does highlight a potential area for improvement. With 13 total output operations, 77% being properly escaped leaves 3 outputs potentially unescaped. While the taint analysis did not reveal any unsanitized flows, unescaped output can still lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is reflected directly to the browser. The plugin's small attack surface, with zero identified entry points, is a significant strength. The lack of historical vulnerabilities is also a positive indicator. Overall, the plugin appears to be developed with security in mind, but vigilance regarding output escaping is recommended.
